The Clinic worked with whistleblowers to make public the whistleblowers’ allegations of fraud in the Shipyard cleanup. We included detailed accounts of fraud in petitions to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the California Department of Public Health, asking those agencies to revoke the licenses of a contractor implicated in the fraudulent cleanup. Select documents related to the federal (NRC) and state (CDPH) petitions are included below.
The Clinic has also submitted comments to the Navy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency related the Navy’s cleanup. These comments focus on issues including: (1) the Navy’s failure to acknowledge the impact of the fraud; and (2) the inadequacy of Navy’s plans to protect the public from exposure to radioactive waste at the Shipyard. Select documents related to the Clinic’s comments are included in this collection.
